Their mission is to provide modern, state-of-the-art fire andEMS对以前没有任何消防区保护的区域的服务。由于该地区的经济状况,该部门无法依靠捐款来帮助其服务。此外,该地区的房屋丧失抵押品赎回权的流行率显着增加,大多数房主生活在较老的,未直到的住宅中,具有更大的火灾危害潜力。除了PRFR的17套装备中,所有设备都超过10年,其中许多设备并不是一个完整的合奏,危害使用它们的志愿者。

PRFR负责人罗德·普拉斯特(Rod Prast)说:“这些新的投票将是一个受欢迎的景象,非常感谢 - 使我的人民确信他们可以更安全地完成工作。”“这将使我们能够在自己的社区以及邻近的消防区提供直接的反应和支持。”

罗比(MO)志愿消防队(RVFD)开放rates three stations that provide fire protection and medical response to 1,200 households over 155 square miles. Their 18 personnel strive to make themselves and the department stronger by attending and paying for their own fire and EMS classes, including Firefighter I and II. However, with all of their current gear more than 10 years old, these students must borrow gear to continue in class. This also means that their response efforts have to be of a defensive nature, providing interior firefighting at structural fires only in extreme circumstances. Even with these limitations and additional recent financial setbacks, the RVFD firefighters remain dedicated and have even increased their staffing at calls while lowering their response time.

“These four sets of Globe turnout gear will go far in allowing for interior firefighting, which is necessary for life-saving rescue as well as reducing fire-related loss,” said RVFD aide Terry Johnson. “The gear will also permit continued training, which helps us advance ourselves and offer the best quality service to our District.”
